They Were Always There
In the lands inhabited by the Native Americans, in 1966, as NASA personnel dressed in spacesuits were being instructed on what to do and how to behave when they landed on the Moon, an old Native American is seen watching these activities every day with a child by his side. A few days later, the child comes to them: "My father sent me. He doesn't know the White Man's language. I learned it at school. My father asks what you have been doing here for days with these strange devices and suits."
After a NASA official explains that they are about to go to the Moon and that they are training astronauts for this purpose, the Native American child returns to his father... Then, the old Native American, who had remained motionless for days, runs to the astronauts and says something in the Navajo language, out of breath. The NASA personnel, not understanding what was said, look at the child who came running after his father... The child explains that his father was very excited when he learned that the White Man was going to the Moon, and that he had a message for the Moon and asked if they could take it with them. The personnel, tired of working seriously under the sun for days, hold out a tape recorder: "Tell your father to record his message on this tape. I promise we will take it with us when we go." After the Native American hears his child translate the White Man's words into Navajo, he says something into the tape recorder, then walks away from there with angry steps. The message is as follows:
"Beware these men! They are coming to take your lands!.."
